Guest schmuck Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I'd love to see them take Forster for the first half of the season and Krul for the second half, we'd see where both of them stand in very similar circumstances that way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

relámpago blanco Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Good deal for the lad if on loan and he's first choice. He'll be a cracking keeper in a few years but needs game time. Would prefer to loan Krul out this season though as Forster was out last. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 http://www.teamtalk.com/newcastle-united/6330214/Forster-in-line-for-Hoops-switch Newcastle goalkeeper Fraser Forster is poised to complete a loan switch to Celtic, subject to a medical, on Monday. Celtic manager Neil Lennon sounded out his Norwich counterpart Paul Lambert, where Forster has previously been on loan, before deciding on a signing that will place pressure on current first choice Lukasz Zaluska. Lennon said: "He's a big boy, he's come highly recommended, I've watched him myself a couple of times. "His age, 22, is the only thing going against him because otherwise he's all the qualities you look for in a goalkeeper. "He's got a massive presence and he's come highly recommended from people in the game whose opinion I trust, so if the medical goes okay, we'll take him on board. "We've needed competition in that area so he'll add to that." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Hmm. Would have liked guaranteed first team football for him, but he's more likely to get it there than here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 It is Harpers last season imo, therefore next season its a straight fight between Krul and Forster for the number one! We will definately lose one of them in the next 2-3 years! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 If he was an outfield player I wouldn't mind so much that he's there for competition. But it's totally different when it's a keeper. Strange move unless he's clearly better than their current keeper and gets games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Great move for him and Celtic. Great preparation for next season where we can have krul and foster fighting it out for the spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 You'd imagine Lambert & Thompson would have been good references for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Good news. Harper will remain number one this year IMO, but next year we should be looking to Krul and Forster to battle it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Brilliant move for him. He'll get much more out of a move to Celtic than Norwich, if he plays when he's North of the border. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Brilliant move for him. He'll get much more out of a move to Celtic than Norwich, if he plays when he's North of the border. Hopefully, they will get through their European game this week so that will be good experience for him plus the pressure of playing in a few Old Firm games. And chances are, he may well win something again this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
